Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for using a shortened block acknowledgement (BlockAck) frame capable of acknowledging fragments. Such a shortened BlockAck frame may include a bitmap field having a shorter length than that of a basic BlockAck frame in the IEEE 802.11 standard (i.e.,
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a first device, a packet from a second device. The method also includes detecting receipt of the packet at a detection circuit. The method further includes, in response to detecting the receipt of the packet, capturing a time of arrival timestamp corresponding to the packet at a capture circuit. The method also includes receiving, at the first device, a time of departure timestamp corresponding to the packet from the second device. The time of departure timestamp indicates a time when the packet is sent from the second device. The method further includes performing a comparison of the time of arrival timestamp and the time of departure timestamp.
